Strange crash: Porsche spilled on the track
Here's an expensive fender bender. It seems a train carrying oil rear-ended a train carrying 106 Porsches in the sleepy town of Dillenburg, Germany. The result — 18 cars totaled with damages estimated around at least €1 million, or about $1.28 million in US Federal Reserve issued fiat money. If your name was on one of these Porsches, we're sorry, but insurance will cover it and the image of a Porsche chilling on the tracks like the Delorean in Back to the Future II cracks us up.

1969 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Ti
The beauty featured has the same chassis/body as my personal car, only that it is prepped to be a track magnet. If ever I feel the urge to tweak the car, this is what I would do to it.
The entry:
At first glance the style of this modified Giulia Ti looked more like a European cars we find on sites like AlfaHolics. It turns out that it was imported from the UK in 2004. It is a clean driver with a very hot suspension and 1750cc engine. Find it here on the AlfaBB in Lakeville, Connecticut for $20k OBO.
These cars look fantastic without bumpers, and the checkerboard scheme is seen on many of the Ti’s raced in European Touringcar series. Yellow inner lamps and true Mini-Lite wheels are tasteful upgrades.
The interior is in good used condition with factory seats and rubber floor mats.
The 1750 was built by Keith Goring and features a powder coated Spruell header. The 5-speed trans is lightened and there is a 4.12 limited slip out back. These sedans are great fun with power upgrades like these.
This is not a show car but rather a driver-oriented street/track car. It is well sorted and ready to drive, and would be a blast on any road with curves. We can only imagine the sound at about 5500 RPM!

Engine Compartment Award: 1982 VW Jetta 2-Door
This car reminds us of a local VW from a well known enthusiast, and it definitely has more pep than the one in the article (notice the hidden intercooler).
Here's the entry of a car spotted for sale on the Vortex:
This 1982 Jetta 2-Door is a rare to find in this condition and has one of the nicest engine bays we have ever seen in a water-cooled VW. It is an unsuspecting model but is very tastefully modified. Find it here on VWVortex in Savannah, Georgia for $13,500.
The multi-piece BBS wheels are a nice touch and well sized. The engine compartment was fully restored and re-painted at which time most holes were filled and the wiring and hoses were concealed. The finished look is incredible, as are the twin Weber carbs and brown matte valve cover and transaxle.
Check out the rest of the photos at the seller’s post. The finishes and cleanliness of the engine is really quite impressive. It would be difficult to replicate just the drivetrain of this car for this selling price. The perfect slight rake is shown below.
Rear styling is relatively plain and you might recognize the look from the 4-door diesel models which are somewhat more common. The 2-door design is desirable and the similarities to the original Golf are obvious.
The prep-work that went into this car is impressive, and the finished aesthetic is very nice. Cars that were common in the 80’s are difficult to find in this condition, and restorations still don’t make sense financially. This seller will not recoup his expenditures, but the buyer will be very pleased with this car. We dig it.
